Cycle

Home -> 7-11 -> Office -> McDonalds -> Home.

This has been my routine for almost 5 months now and I really got used to it that way. The change of schedule on Monday will definitely re-arrage that routine. But I welcome that, my new sched mates are mostly from my batch so it will be loads of fun. Although Jett (my sched partner for almost 5 months now) will still be in GY (12:30AM) shift. It would have been great if he had the sched like ours.

What will my new cycle be?

Home -> ??? -> Office -> ??? -> Home

I'll know on Monday.

My Schedule rocks!

So it seems i don't need to obliterate 20 people, because I got the schedule I want!

Bravo WORKFORCE!!!

You will now be reading post from 5PM to 4AM Manila time, but rarely on Fridays Saturdays and Sundays because (ahem) it's my REST day!

Life can be soooo beautiful.

Currently listening to : Maroon 5 - She Will Be Loved

Buy this album!
From the album "Songs About Jane"

Beauty queen of only eighteen
She had some trouble with herself
He was always there to help her
She always belonged to someone else

I drove for miles and miles
And wound up at your door
I've had you so many times
But somehow I want more

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful
I know I tend to get so insecure
It doesn't matter anymore

It's not always rainbows and butterflies
It's compromise that moves us along
My heart is full and my door's always open
You can come anytime you want

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved

I know where you hide alone in your car
Know all of the things that make you who you are
I know that goodbye means nothing at all
Comes back and begs me to catch her everytime she falls

Tap on my window knock on my door
I want to make you feel beautiful

I don't mind spending everyday
Out on your corner in the pouring rain
Look for the girl with the broken smile
Ask her if she wants to stay awhile
And she will be loved
She will be loved


Again, I'll just settle for MP3s...(ha ha...)

My inner child is sixteen years old today

My inner child is sixteen years old!


Life's not fair! It's never been fair, but while
adults might just accept that, I know
something's gotta change. And it's gonna
change, just as soon as I become an adult and
get some power of my own.


How Old is Your Inner Child?
brought to you by Quizilla

Beach Bum..NOT!

I haven't really noticed that it is already summer. But I do notice the heat, but hardly had the feel of going to the beach. Not because I can hardly swim, it's just that I don't get excited in such trips anymore.

I'm severely becoming a homebody.

But I'm not complaining.

In Borgy Manotoc 's article "The mind of a Manila man", posted at Inquirer News Service, he wrote,

"HOW do beautiful women keep men at bay? Do they beat them off with a stick? And why is it that men who make up half of the world's population are never faced with this problem?

I've never known a single man who has complained about women lusting after him. Could it be that even in this modern world, women still expect a double standard when it comes to male-female relationships?

Who am I kidding? We're in the Philippines. Of course, they do. Let's take the whole courting process that we, poor males, have to endure in the hope of gaining a woman's interest, which lasts just a tad longer than the time it takes to gulp down a beer.
"

I never really believed or practiced the traditional courting ways of most Filipino men. I mean, flowers and chocolates? Yes of course most women want those but it really depends. Most women I know go for more that what a man can buy her (I hope I'm right ). Getting to know the person and spending quality time rather than tokens of monetary status is is much better IMHO.

And this goes to women as well, Ha!

Too bad, I can't go to that stage anymore...It sucks to be me.

WHAT DO I DO
Nyoy Volante
Acoustics: Nyoy With Mannos [2003]

INTRO

What would you do if I told you that
All that I do's think of what we had
What would you do if I'm not the friend I used to be
Well, at least, not to me

REFRAIN 1
'Cause I can't get over all the times you stay
Get crazy, jealous every time you're away
Now I'm someone different from the one you knew
Had nothing to feel for you, to feel for you

CHORUS
What do I do
I keep calling out your name
What do I do
I got no one else to blame
What do I do
Every time I hold your hand, it's not the same
What do I do
I think I fell in love with you

What can I do, what can I say
Everything keeps changing every night, every day
Every word so diff'rent, every touch so real
Every glance and every look reveals the way I feel

REFRAIN 2
No, it's never ever gonna be the same
When we hug for warmth from the cold of the rain
Yet I'm not gonna move on, not gonna change
Though I find it hard to say, baby

[Repeat CHORUS]

BRIDGE
I don't know what to do
I'm fallin' more for you
Baby, please tell me...

[Repeat CHORUS]

CODA
Ooh oh
What do I do
What one thing are you most looking forward to . . .

1. ...today?

going home...

2. ...over the next week?

payday (he he )

3. ...this year?

promotion

4. ...over the next five years?

Working and living abroad.

5. ...for the rest of your life?

International recognition, seeing my children successfull in their lives. Living my life to the fullest.

So I finaly got the Microsoft Security Update CD, which I spent 30 bucks just to get it from Makati POst Office Customs Department with a combination of filtering sweat and burning 11AM sunlight where I usually got it for FREE and without the scorching summer heat when they send it to Caloocan.

The mark says on the CD,

"SUBJECT FOR CUSTOMS INSPECTION"

The hell, whats wrong with a 2 CD envelope? Blasted Makati Post Office.

Next time, I'll have them delivered at home.

Anyways, I was able to update my XP Service pack using the CD.

Change status to Assasin mode. ^_~

Hey, my schedule adherance is 99%++ ! @_@

The greatbthing is we can still surf and laze around while waiting for the system to get up which I think would take at least 2-4 hours :)

ブライアン
BTW check out this article by Manila Times regarding Nyoy Volante and Mannos.

I have been fascinated with Nyoy Volante's accoustic music. I was only able to hear his songs yesterday and it is quite soothing. I think better than Paolo Santos, the guy that did the Close-Up Ad song. I really recommend accoustic lovers to buy his album ^_^

I'll just settle for MP3's (tee hee..)

Monday, March 01, 2004

Then I thought yesterday would be a productive day, instead of sqeeezing my brains out...
I ended up playing Ragnarok all day ^_^. But this is no ordinary Ragnarok game, I was playing it OFFLINE ! He he I managed to buy a CD of it at Caloocan that lets you run a server locally and play it without going online ^_^ Saves me money my ISP and LevelUpgames.
